Teen behind bars over Qld stabbing murder

A 15-year-old boy charged with the stabbing murder of another teenager on the Gold Coast will spend the Christmas holiday behind bars.

Parkwood 17-year-old Jack Beasley died after he was allegedly stabbed in the chest in a fight on Surfers Paradise Boulevard on Friday night while another 17-year-old stabbed in the chest and back survived.

The teen cannot be identified and Beenleigh Children's Court was closed for his appearance on Monday when he was remanded in custody, as his family sobbed in the back of the court.

Police said the victims and three others became involved in an altercation with another group of five others soon after 8pm on Friday.

The two groups were not known to each other, according to police.

Despite the efforts of an off-duty doctor who witnessed the attack, Jack Beasley died.

A GoFundMe campaign to help the Beasley family has raised more than $22,000.
